Sandefjord - Airport City The 6 miles natural harbor in southeastern Norway made Sandenfjord the capital of whaling since the Middle Ages. Today, the Whaling Museum is unique by its exhibits showing the history of whaling in different cultures and Arctic and Antarctic animal life. The city symbol is also a monument related to whaling, that you can find at the end of the main street, Jernbanealléen; a replica of the Gokstad Viking ship also dominates the harbour, reminding of ancient times. The tourist will find a nice place to walk and relax in the nice parks and gardens in the waterfront area. Food is especially delicious; you should visit one of the best gourmet Norwegian restaurants near the harbour or you can enjoy a picnic along the coast by tasting the seafood from the local fishtraders; for this, a bike could be the perfect transportation in a sunny day.
Tonsberg The oldest town in Norway stands on the western bank of Oslofjord; its origin year is placed by the famous historian Snorre Sturluson around 871, when the Viking town Tonsberg became the royal coronation site. A rich historic heritage is found here, beginning with the city landmark - the tower built on the hill in 1888 as a stand-in for the old fortress - ruins of Tonsberghus, the Royal Castle or the Vestfold Museum. Still, modern Tonsberg has as much more to offer than the old town; especially on summertime, the tourist will find here one of the livliest day and nightlife in Norway. The surroundings are also rich in tourist attractions, mostly old Viking graves and various museums.
